Routing cables using the CMA

Routing of power and data cables for the Model 106 is integral to successful rail kit installation and
rackmount installation of the enclosure.
Cables must be correctly installed and routed to facilitate efficient operation and in-rack servicing of the
enclosure.
This section provides instructions for routing cables through the CMA, to include using the CMA baskets
and the CMA storage shelf located at the rear of the enclosure.
1. Install the data cables and route them through the CMA brackets.
• Rotate the CMA cable capture arms so they are out of the way of the data cable routing.
• Route data cables 1-5 onto the CMA shelf and through the CMA brackets in the order and
configuration shown below.
• Secure the routed cables with one hand while installing additional cables until data cables 1-5 are
installed.
• Rotate the outer cable capture arm close over data cables 1-5, ensuring it seats in the C-flange in
between the two cable capture arms.
• Route data cables 6-10 onto the CMA shelf and through the CMA brackets in the order and
configuration shown below.
